This invention relates to non-refillable bottles, and has for its objectto provide a bottle of this nature which may be manufactured at a lowcost and. in which the parts may be quickly and readily assembled afterthe bottle has been filled by the manufacturer.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a vertical sectional viewthrough the neck of a bottle, showing in elevation the inventiontherein. Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view in detail through the neckportion of the bottle.- Fig. 3 is a horizontal sectional view on theline 3 3 of Fig. 1, and Fig. 4 is a detail perspective view of thesecondary stopper of the bottle. v

Referring to the drawings, the numeral 5 denotes the neck of'a bottlewhich is provided adjacent its middle with an annular recess 6 and atits lower end with an interior annular flange 7, which forms avalve-seat for a ball-valve 8. The mouth of the bottle is closed, as inthe ordinary manner, by means of a stopper 9, of cork or other suitablematerial.

Disposed within the neck 5 of the bottle is a secondary stopper, whichcomprises a diskshaped head 10, having a depending portion 11, which hasits outer face rounded to conform to the shape of the neck of the bottleand which has its inner face flattened and lying in a plane at rightangles to the under face of the disk-shaped head 10. Extending from thesaid inner face of the depending portion 11 and at right angles'theretois a pin 12, which has its extreme outer end in engagement with the sideof the neck of the bottle directly opposite the flattened face of thedepending portion 11. A strand of Specification of Letters Patent.

' What is claimed'is- Patented Oct. 30, 1906,

spring-wire is bent at its middle around the pin 12, as at 13, and hasthe lower end of its arm 14 thus formed bent at an obtuse angle inopposite directions, as at 15, to lie within the annular recess 6.

Formed at intervals upon that edge of the disk-shaped head 10 which liesin an opposite direction from the downwardly-extending portion 11 arediagonal grooves 16, which permit passage of the liquid from the bottle.

It will of course be readily understood that the portions 15 of thelocking-wire prevent disengagement of the secondary stopper from theneck of the bottle and that the said secondary stopper prevents alccessto the ballvalve 8. v
